YouMa Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I must admit I really admire the guy but his early funky stuff is much better. I don't think you can really get away with Donna Lee on bass it does just sound like noodling. I wish Jaco had been more jazz/funk that would have been awesome. Quote
lowdown Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 She's certainly nailed that! I've heard her sing a few times, and she always amazes me with her vocal chops Terrific musician. Quote
interpol52 Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I love it! I like the Charlie Parker version a little more than Jaco's, I like to hear the main melody over the chord progression. 2 Quote

Chris2112 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 She's good! I often find singing a solo like this is a great way to learn it. I learned a lot of 'James by Jeff Berlin in by singing it like this to get to grips with the different notes and phrases and I have, for years now, enjoying singing the middle section of 'Volcano for Hire' by Weather Report in this fashion. Her take on 'Donna Lee' is particularly good because after the first minute or so, the pieces does rather lose it's form. Jaco has, by then, expended the most identifiable phrases and motifs so to keep place in a vocal performance is impressive. Quote
